Sustainable Dust Control for Mining Operations

CSA LLC, in collaboration with University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign, has devised a sustainable solution for dust control at mining operations. By utilizing proven concepts in algae culture, biostimulant application and photosynthesis, we have developed a polyculture of organisms that will generate a sustainable "biocrust" to suppress release of fine dust particles from mining operations, unpaved roadways, and other surfaces. The concept has been proven in the international mining industry, and we are seeking to bring this concept to fruition in US mining operations. CSA has consulted to US Department of Energy, BHP, Freeport-McMoRan, and other confidential mining clients on environmental projects, and we are recognized for our expertise in this area.
